lyrics

we spring forth delicately anew
climbing up high to a new view
and i’m channeling my energy through you

i’ll be the arm in your sleeve
not another regret to grieve
and you’ll be wrapped tightly around me

we’ve got a good system in place
for mastering our emotions and kissing her face
and we honor her beauty and grace

i’ll be the head in your hat
when everyone’s sayin’ the world is flat
well who are we to argue with that?

your body comes towards mine
two objects in space that can’t help but intertwine
and the chaos and the peace realign

i’ll be the hand in your glove
caressing the wings of the dove
embracing the warmth of its love

(bridge)
suddenly, i’m overcome with emotion
heartstrings and little things get thrown into motion
my heart becomes heavy and i digress
i needed to get all of that off my chest

(outro)

Rituals is a driving tour de force, and deftly avoids the scenic route. ... more
